Sorry sabre ace, all this happened in the 80s, not sure if I can find it on the nest, but PAF only credited the claims that could be proven by teh pilots, the criteria for awarding a “kill” was very strict , General Dynamics also recgnised the kills, but then they would as they had a huge vesed interest in teh F-16 having a good combat record, for more infomation on the kills, evidence and photos you can try some of the aviation books and magazines of that period, a few websites, or in desperate circumstances, ask Alexander Rutskoi (former Russian vice president and shot down by Fiza’Ya)! 🙂
I am not saying they did or they did noth Sabreace, my point was the Russians, just like teh PAF can claim all they want, PAF has wreckage/footage of just 11 kilss but as MIGMASTER pointed out , claim more then twice that number….
I know I am going to get stick for this, but does the RAF REALLY NEED more then 200 Eurofighters!?
I mean whenever Britain goes to war these days its really assests like Transport planes, air to air refuelling and special forces that are of the greatest demand, other then a potential re run of teh Falklands, wont Britain always be able to rely on the US!? All one really needs in those circumstances is a limited ability to provide air defence to teh Bristish Isles and a Jag replacement
Coould just be reffering to GPS guided weapon!?
I know its a big “IF”, but if Hooin did cancel RAF Eurofighters, what would teh UK get in its place!? 60-80 odd F-22s!?
So did the PAF! PAF pilots claimed 21 odd planes but we could only be given credit for 11 as other wreckage landed in enemy territory!
So Russian can claim what they like, its been over 15 years now and they have no proof…….

the density of terrorists in EU is very less. if Ark Royal were
moored in karachi it would be slightly different 😎
And people wonder how flames start….
What should I do know!? Say something about how smelly life would be for the crew if moored by Bombay!?
Yeah, come on, share! 🙂

probably because more AH1s were denied ?there is a limit to Baksheesh for GUBO activities against Taliban
and Al-Qaeda. payment is proportional to services rendered in
the worlds oldest profession.hand over bin laden -> get more.
Already been apporved along with radars, C-130s etc
Pakistan is getting 40 extra AH-1Fs with TOW 2 and CNITE, this has already been discussed…….
I dont know why on earth we need to waste money on MI-35s!

thanks Rick, I figured as much.enemy#2 has been outsourced to USA to manage with a mixture
of beatings and rewards. work in progress.enemy#1 as I said isnt really a enemy but a nice trading partner.
#3, #4…..exist in the fevered fantasies of Binur madrassa alums.
everyone but Pak has signed a free trade agreement with India
– even myanmar and thailand now, singapore in six months.so you can bark alone in the kennel paf – USA will manage that
outsourcing project …FBI agents are running Pak immigration,
banking and telecom networks now with a intrusive regime of
monitoring.good luck.
What BS dude! India has had armed conflicts or fights with
Pakistan
Bangladesh
China
and I think Nepal too!
Lets not pretend here, as regards to US outsourcing , our army will remeber that when we afre inducting
TPS-77s, C-130s, P-3s, more Cobras etc etc
I dont think the first two pix are ROSE planes as they have the old PAF insignia on the tail, that was phased out in the mid 90s, well before ROSE was completed…..
